PALEMBANG, Indonesia – Two women known only as Lisa and Martini were found guilty Wednesday (November 20th) of attempting to sell a baby, local media reported.

Lisa was sentenced to five years in prison and Martini was sentenced to 4.5 years.

Both were fined Rp. 60m ($5,200) but can serve an additional six months in prison instead of paying, the Sriwijaya Post reported. The punishments were lighter than what the prosecution sought.

The pair was arrested in June for trying to sell a 3-week-old baby from Lampung to undercover police for Rp. 15m ($1.3m), The Jakarta Post reported.

"We are trying to find the baby's parents before we hand it over to the local social agency or the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas Anak). All expenses are being covered by the state," South Sumatra Police general crimes director Kristoyo Arianto said, adding that the baby is at the Bhayangkara Police Hospital in Palembang.

Lisa said that she and Martini were told to deliver the baby by a woman named Narty, who promised Rp. 3m ($260) if they were successful. She said she had previously sold another baby in Palembang for Rp. 8m ($690) and was paid the same Rp. 3m fee.
